A group of Northern youths, under Arewa Youth Development
Foundation has called on southerners in the north to relocate
to their respective states to make room for northerner who would be
returning home.
This ultimatum was contained in a statement read and jointly signed
by the group’s national president, Mr Aliyu Usman and its secretary,
Comrade Alfred Solomon, during a visit by the group to the Emir of Kano,
Alhaji Muhammadu Sunusi II, in his palace.
The group alleged that for the past four years, a policy of direct
subjugation of the north and its people had been pursued by the Federal
Government and its agencies, in collaboration with various governments
in the south.
The group described the alleged crackdown on northerners in the
name of Boko Haram, the recent arrest of all imams of Juma’at mosques in
Abia State, the arrest of northern traders, the happenings at the
national confab, among others issues, as regretable.
It added that “in the event that all the resolution failed, we call
on all northerners to rise and support agitations for a peaceful
dissolution of this union called Nigeria, for every region to go its own
way.”
While addressing the youths, the Emir of Kano called on youths to be
ambassadors of peace and imbibe the culture of peaceful coexistence.
He
said: “We should not forget that it is natural for people of different
minds and cultural backgrounds to live in one entity called a nation. I,
therefore, urged you to imbibe the culture of peaceful coexistence.”
